Comp Cams has some that are compatible with the factory efi, but without some gearing changes or major work, any gain you make from doing just a cam change will be more than offset by adding a set of 35" tires

I agree with that, but I don't have any experience with an F250 w/5.0. I would hope the factory would have shipped them w/ 4.10's.

dsands88, do you know your gear ratio? If you only have 3.55's, you'd probably be better off spending the money on gears, do the cam later.
